Time Course and Extent of Renal Function Changes in Patients Receiving Treatment for Staphylococcal Pneumonias: An Analysis Comparing Telavancin and Vancomycin from the ATTAIN Trials

摘要

Study ObjectiveTelavancin and vancomycin are both approved for treatment of hospital‐acquired and ventilator‐associated bacterial pneumonias caused by Staphylococcus aureus, and both agents can cause renal dysfunction. The objective of this study was to assess renal function changes by performing renal shift table analyses of telavancin‐ and vancomycin‐treated patients in phase III trials.
